It was actually nothing more than a glib, smart arse, throwaway, yep call it stupid if you wish line. Then ya smeared beige mayo on it n made further inaccurate insinuations. Maybe ya shoulda just chirped the actual comment from me when quoting instead of expanding.
These days most of the real guns show what they're made of pretty quickly. We'll have a fair idea by round 12 2025.
Not sure on 6 and 11 for 2 through ?. Carlton set the bar yesterday 12 and 14 for 3 . We a paying way overs. No pick 6 is included.
It was the compromise that had to happen, overall I think we pretty much maxed the draft value most REALISTICALLY could have expected. If you were going to get a fully committed Shai if you held him to his contract then you maybe could have bluffed all the way to the wire but this is a fair outcome.
On Bake's if he had of been a restricted free agent the compo we would have received from AFL for his 5 year deal at say somewhere around $750-$800K would have been end of first round at best so was best done now.
Fantastic that we giving ourselves a decent chance of picking up the best talent.
As mentioned before however, you need your club to be good off field to make the most of any player.
As a matter of interest and not proving anything one way or another, here are some notables from the 2013 draft (I think 4? captains here?)
35 Toby Nankervis
37 Alex Pearce
42 Jake Kolodjashnij
43 Tom Barrass
44 Aliir Aliir
56 James Sicily
74 Jeremy McGovern
86 Rory Laird
90 Dane Rampe

Assuming the deal goes through as reported, i dont reckon its a great deal for us, but better than a punch in the face.
I guess time will tell what we do with 18, which will end up about 21/22, as opposed 14 (probably 17 by the time it is used)

Great result with the Bolton trade. To have so many bites of the cherry so early in a very deep draft is an amazing opportunity.
Personally, I wouldn't be looking at trading up to 2. I'd rather have more high-calibre kids on the list than less. And while there are no guarantees with the draft, talent identification and drafting is a much more sophisticated science these days. If the field is as even as everyone says it is, this is our golden chance to accelerate the rebuild.

Carlton struck gold by having the right picks at the right time.
There is no way North trade pick 2 unless they get 6 back. If we dont want to trade 6 for 2 then we wont get 2.
it's just a matter of what other pick they'll demand. if it's any higher than #11 I'd personally take it. Maybe this is why Hartley isn't concerned too much about trading out #14?
Agree. 10 and 11 straight up was a common expectation. To get it, we've slid back 4 spots AND given an F3 which is gonna be around the 38 mark next year.
If this is what's being reported is actually correct, of course.
Heard we are not paying Bolton contract either, if this is true, this is a good deal, and frees us up for FA next year
Anyone else hear the same?
